Combined heat and power - Import export

Cane sugar is produced by means of technologies rather similar to those used in a beet sugar plant that are also fully mastered by DSEC. Sugar cane is however a totally different plant compared to sugar beet: whereas sugar beet is sowed and can be harvested after +/- 6 months, cane takes longer to grow but grows back after it has been cut and can therefore be harvested several consecutive years (4 to 6) before being replanted. Cane can be cut either manually or mechanically before being directly processed in the mill. Cane plantation location in relation of the plant is of paramount importance so as to reduce sugar losses by the degradation of the plant after cutting as well as to minimize logistic costs. DSEC will select the most appropriate methodology for extracting the juice from the cane after its first shredding. The extraction operation will be performed using mill tandem or cane diffusion while additional mills will press the residual solid (bagasse) in order to increase its fiber content while additional mills will press the residual solid (bagasse) in order to increase its fiber content. Pressed bagasse will be used as fuel for the plant combined heat and power generation that will generally export electricity on the public grid. The choice between mill tandem and diffuser will be highly dependent on plant capacity, cane characteristics, expected extraction performances and plant general concept.

DSEC is your trusted partner for the construction of your biomass energy plants. Biomass to energy via cogeneration is a sustainable power source, its valorisation can be done trough many different processes. The choice for the suitable technology depends on its various characteristics (moisture, size, ashes melting point, chlorine content, ashes content, ...). Several applications can be developed, from heat production to power generation or even combined heat and power plant. Through its numerous references in biomass valorization, DSEC is able to provide the right expertise to the customer. De Smet Engineers & Contractors is an actor into the green heat and electricity field, developing realizations from concept to start-up. Thanks to our wide turnkey experience, we may give warranties on the schedule, the investment and the performances. Developed biomass energy via cogeneration projects concern pellet production, biomethanisation, wood chips gasification, straw combustion, sunflower husks, bagasse and other agricultural residues valorization for direct steam production or electricity production with back pressure or condensing turbine. De Smet Engineers and Contractors offers you turnkey solutions fitting with your specific needs, that can start with Conceptual Engineering and FEED studies and finally evolve into a Full EPC biomass energy plant project.

Hamon Deltak Inc. has been designing and fabricating Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Waste Heat Boilers (WHB) since 1977.Complex Systems Require Custom Solutions.CHP systems provide their greatest return on investment when energy usage from the waste heat boiler is maximized. CHP waste heat boilers are no longer off the shelf products. It is critical to design a properly sized WHB for the greatest efficiency possible. Let the most experienced team in the industry provide an optimal WHB design for your facility. The value of a properly executed CHP project is dictated by more than price alone.
